The All Blacks need three tries in Paris on Sunday to reach a magic mark in world rugby.

If Steve Hansen's men manage to dot down on three occasions against France this weekend they will become the first international team to score 2000 test tries.

The All Blacks currently sit on 1997 tries in 563 tests at a strike-rate of 3.5 tries per game, well ahead of second-placed France. Sunday's opponents have 1708 tries in 740. Australia sit third on the list with 1616 from 615 test while it may be a surprise to some that Argentina hold fourth spot.

The Pumas have scored 1604 tries in 428 tests, 25 more tries than England in 284 fewer tests. Argentina actually have better strike rate than the All Blacks, scoring 3.7 tries per test.
